Publicly funded US sources will also periodically challenge the corporate media narrative.
It says they don’t know… But I’m pretty sure I recall news from maybe 5 years ago (~15,im old. =(. ) about HSBC being involved in a CIA deal to trade/sell guns to a Sinola Cartel high up in return for Intel and info on migrants and rival cartels, and included US government agencies giving the Sinola laxiety on crossing onto US soil to sell drugs.
It sounds conspiracy-ey, but I’m 97% sure it’s true. I’ll see about digging up a link when I have some more time.
Edit: So, older than I thought, but even though US court decided this guy didn’t have CIA granted immunity for moving tons of cocaine, the article mentions other Sinaloa members having worked with US authorities.
All the HSBC money laundering stuff is well documented, but I couldn’t find any sources linking it to cooperation with US authorities on a cursory check.
I will follow up on this research. Thank you.
